In my coding style, these warnings are a sign of something wrong. Your milage may vary. Prohibited where "void" is prohibited. grep "^/\*\*/" works under csh and sh (SUN OS 4.1). grep "^/\\*\\*/" works under sh. I don't know what the Adventure shell would do. Further discussion by e-mail; it's not a C point, so I shouldn't have commented on it in the first place. -- Tim McDaniel Applied Dynamics Int'l.; Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Work phone: +1 313 973 1300 Home phone: +1 313 677 4386 Internet: mcdaniel@adi.com UUCP: {uunet,sharkey}!amara!mcdaniel
